s11e11: Organic Dial live at No Way Back Streaming From Beyond 2021
A live show for No Way Back: Streaming From Beyond 2021 from Outer Space Room residents Organic Dial, a duo of John Elliott and Drew Veres, true midwest freaks hailing from Cleveland. In their own words: “We wanted to make a set for No Way Back that had an infinite feeling, with sounds sort of running into one another like soft waves on a lake. Many of the tracks here were made to go on indefinitely, like loops but with some sparser hand played adornments. We stitched the set together carefully to play like a mixtape, something that could repeat over and over and never get tired sounding. Organic Dial tracks are made by spending a lot of time listening to things loop until we find a combination of shape and melody that makes sense. Many of these pieces have been in the incubator for some time and will likely take on a different form at some point. As we had to do a live stream for No Way Back this year we were hoping we could project the same feeling of being alone in a dark corner at Tangent Gallery, being bathed by the sparse lights peering through holes in a hanging parachute late into the night. Sound everywhere, eyes shut, mind wide open.”
